## Common Usage Example:
2013-08-03 07:30:34 +00:00
The most common use is probably to run hugo with your current
2013-07-04 15:32:55 +00:00
directory being the input directory.
$ hugo
> X pages created
2013-08-03 07:30:34 +00:00
in 8 ms

If you are working on things and want to see the changes
immediately, tell Hugo to watch for changes.
Hugo will watch the filesystem for changes, rebuild your site as soon as a file
is saved.

Hugo can even run a server and create your site at the same time! Hugo
implements live reload technology to automatically reload any open pages in
all browsers (including mobile).
